Word Jumble. . . My New Album

What I have done is take the titles of TEN "famous" songs, break them down into their component words, and rearrange those words to create NINE new song titles. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out the ten original song titles. Each word from the original titles is used exactly once for the new titles (47 words in the old titles, 47 words in the new titles). Remember, I created nine titles from ten original songs. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

1. Time to Name Your Baby, Fools
2. I Want to Cry
3. The Stairway Where I Could Stand
4. The Hand Walk (I have a dance for this one, it will be very popular)
5. I Have No Sympathy for One More Line Dancer
6. I'm Closer By, So Hold Me
7. The Tiny Devil Man Hit Me
8. Hold Your Chain
9. Lonesome Streets of Heaven

P.S. I don't have any lyrics for these songs at the moment, but I could probably hum you the melody if you asked. Also, one of the original songs does not belong. You get bonus points if you can tell me which one and why.

Web 2.0 Review and Other Cool Stuff

I didn't want to just do a blog post to review a web 2.0 tool. I thought it might ruin the vibe of my blog. Not that my blog has a particularly cool vibe or anything. So I decided to bury it in with some other stuff that (in my opinion) is pretty cool. I put it in list form for your reading benefit. Here you go.

Happy Birthday to Me . . .

. . . courtesy of my roommates. They were quite pleased with themselves.

Let's Get Interactive. . . ANIMALS!!!

These questions will specifically be about vertebrates (animals with backbones). So sorry sea cucumber lovers, you don't get to show off your knowledge this time. Remember, you do not have to have an answer for every question to participate and don't be afraid to guess.

Pets in Things

When I was growing up we had an open door policy towards animals. If a stray showed up at our house it got fed and usually stuck around long enough to be considered a pet. Since we lived on a gravel road, which is prime animal dumping territory, a lot of animals showed up to take advantage of our policy. Here are some of my favorite pet pictures. The theme being: Pets in Things. All of the animals got into whatever object they are in under their own power. (Honestly, the cat got into the bag on her own. My dad just happened to be there to make sure she stayed in the bag long enough to get her picture taken.)

Let's Get Interactive . . . MOVIE SONGS!!!

If at first you don't succeed. . .

I have decided to give this another go after the overwhelming success of my first attempt (yes, that's sarcasm). This one should be a little bit easier, hopefully. Also I made the title more exciting. Note the CAPITALIZATION and EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! If that doesn't get you people excited, I don't know what will.

Let's Get Interactive. . . Quotations (w/Hints)

Since all this Web 2.0 stuff is about being social, I’m hoping this will create some interaction on my blog. This is my first attempt at this so the introduction will be a little long. Just bear with me.

I love trivia and word games and things like that, so here is some trivia for you. Below are listed ten quotations. They were spoken or written by real people and may have come from speeches, letters, memoirs, etc. None of them comes from a work of fiction. Your job is to name the person associated with each quote. While every quote is not incredibly famous, the people are, so I hope you can figure some of them out even if you don’t know them immediately.

7 1/2 Habits

Seeing as how I have probably learned more on my own than I have in class this semester, I'm going to go with accept responsibility for your own learning as the easiest. This is especially true if I can get really motivated about a topic. I like to follow up and expand on things that other people bring up.

Viewing problems as challenges is something I find very. . . well, challenging. This is especially true of school work I find uninteresting. I know that it would save me a lot of time and grief if I viewed everything as a learning experience and dove right in, however I tend to wait until the last minute to do things that don't excite me. I keep telling myself that things don't get any easier if I keep putting them off, and guess what, it seems to be working.
